Internship Job Description:
Looking for an opportunity to learn by doing and make a tangible impact? Join our education-focused startup and gain real-world experience in operations, production, and product management—all while helping us bring creative learning experiences to students and teachers!
As an intern, you’ll:
– Learn the production process end-to-end: sourcing materials, assembling products, and managing fulfillment/tracking.
– Build operational skills by helping refine processes, explore outsourcing opportunities, and identify cost-saving strategies.
– Contribute to product development by participating in focus groups, gathering insights from educators and students, and brainstorming improvements alongside our leadership team.
This is a hands-on internship where you’ll work directly with our co-founders and product leadership team. You’ll walk away with practical experience in start-up operations and product strategy, plus a strong addition to your résumé.
Work will be done in our office on East Franklin Street, and we are looking for up to 10-15 hours/week. We can work around your class schedule, but do have time-sensitive customer requirements, so would want to lock in a schedule that fits with your other commitments.
